Key decision	A specialist off-road pickup whose payload, towing and new-order status need exact confirmation.	A broad mainstream range spanning work-focused diesels, the petrol Raptor and the plug-in Ranger Hybrid.	A premium full-size pickup for buyers whose towing, cabin and tub needs justify the size and cost.

Built for exact decisions. Family figures are labelled as ranges. Once you select a configuration, an absent value stays “not published for this exact configuration” and is never replaced with an incompatible family maximum.
